Regulations List

The following are the various Federation laws, regulations, rules and directives
we have heard over the series. As usual the primary source was the Encyclopedia,
and as usual any updates or corrections should indicate the episode the
change required, which episode it came from, and if possible a rough idea
of where in the episode it is mentioned.

The Prime Directive. Precludes interference in the normal development of a society. The Prime Directive has 47 suborders. When dealing with primitive cultures, the Prime Directive forbids any mention of life on other worlds.

Includes a handbook on Personal Relationships three centimetres thick, including the rule "All Starfleet personnel must obtain authorization from their C.O. as well as clearance from their medical officer before initiating an intimate relationship with an alien species."

Relates to the ethical code of conduct of Starfleet cadets. In the Nero timeline, Cadet James T. Kirk was accused of violation of Regulation 17.43 when he reprogrammed the Kobayashi Maru simulation to allow him to defeat the no win scenario.

Any command officer who is emotionally compromised by the mission at hand must resign said command. In the Nero timeline, Kirk pushed Spock into a fit of rage to demonstrate that he had to resign his command of the Enterprise under Regulation 619.

Requires the captain of a starship to notify Starfleet command immediately on detection of an omega molecule, and authorizesthe use of any means necessary to destroy it. This directive is unknown to virtually all Starfleet personnel, and over rides the Prime Directive.
